Parkzone Spitfire RTF maiden - beginner

Ok, I went against all advice and jumped from the G3.5 Flight Sim directly to a Parkzone Spitfire RTF. I did fly a PT40 10 years ago 3 flights, then a straight nose dive. I'd consider myself a beginner when it comes to flying actual planes.

Although, I have gotten quite good with the flight sim. I've been playing on and off for about a year. 30 minutes a day for the past 2 weeks. I use the Hellcat electric on expansion pack 2.

Here's my maiden flight....

I did an R/C simulator for about 6 months before the maiden. I've seen people (first timers) with a similar plane fly for 15 seconds and then nose dive. I did RC cars as a kid all the time. The plane is a completely different world.

i jumped right to the corsair from playing the simulator in the store. These planes are great to fly and very forgiving. ive crashed directly into trees at full speed

Least you did the sim first that gave you the basic feel of flying rc planes, my only advice for you is try flying in a more open space ie with no trees or houses near by just incase u lose orientation, an don't try flying in high winds anything over 12mph with a foamy... Other than that good first flight...
